$2.00

The Dance Like Nobody’s Judging activity is designed to help clients with social anxiety practice self-expression, embrace vulnerability, and reduce the fear of judgment—all through playful, structured movement.

Materials Needed:

  • Music player or speaker

  • Playlist with diverse songs (slow, upbeat, silly, empowering)

  • Optional props: scarves, glow sticks, hats, or costumes

  • Printable “My Dance Debrief” worksheet for reflection

This activity turns self-expression into a therapeutic practice, helping clients move through social anxiety with creativity, fun, and self-compassion.
